Host Gator
 

I am thinking about moving one of my wordpress blogs away from dreamhost, wonder if I should host it on Host Gator, what do you think of their VPS hosting ?

Thank you

good advice... :thumbsup

your post was not only informative, but also delightful... :2 cents:



,

I quite like hostgator. Fatcow and WPWebhost are also good for blogs.

Hostgator is best, because you can add IPs and they ain't to expensive.

Fatcow and WPWebhost only have 1 IP.

Hostgator, the answer is no. Check out www.amerinoc.com instead.

depends on how many blogs...

i am moving all my blogs from HG vps to liquid web dedicated servers...

https://www.liquidweb.com/cart/conte...pertownSpecial

with 8 gigs of ram and cpanel.. $289 per month...

i was putting 50 sites per vps account.. it was ok, but now i am putting 200 sites on each dedicated box..

i am hoping this helps site speed..

wp sites with lots of plugins are hogs..

i will let you know how it works out...

I will be blunt. Why move from one shit place to another?

Hosting is very competitive these days. There are quite a few great companies that offer virtual accounts for very reasonable prices and dedicated servers as well.

Every time I deal with Host Gator I want to run my fingernails across a chalkboard.

:thumbsup

one word of advice "MOJO"

Sly

Is it their customers service or reliability. Dream host has excellent customer service, but their servers suck, more down time than I can count. How does HG handles their tickets ?

I have dedicated servers amongst many hosts but do use Host Gator from time to time for little sites. Use the coupon "CHEAPHOSTING" to get the first month for $0.01. :thumbsup

HG, customer support.

hg > dh all day long. both are shitty but hg is the lesser shitty host... sorta

phatservers is the same price point for what you need and much better.

wpwebhost doesnt allow adult

WTF!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Longtime happy customer of hostgator. Hit me up and I'll split the bounty with u.

I had a host gator box for a bit and it served its purpose.

i use hostgator and i like it

It's awesome fore the price. They are solid. Only thing is no ffmpeg support.

HostGator does have ffmpeg support. I have a VPS and a couple dedi box's with them and have never had any issues..:thumbsup

That's just one over stuffed server hosting to another. Go with a faster more reliable host like www.dwhs.net

The Gate is an awesome movie :1orglaugh

I just made a video about this topic

Stay away from phatservers virtual plans.

Don't they? I have a couple NSFW sites on there and some mainstream blogs. Better move the NSFW stuff before they cream my account :Oh crap

Why do you say that... been using Phat for years... haven't used there virtual plans in a long time but they were just as solid as there dedicated back then!

I have used hostgator for the last 2-3 years now and I have never had a problem with them so I really dont know why you guys are saying hostgator are shit.
They always answer support messages and have 24 hour live support which I have used on a number of occasions even though it was my fuckup they still sorted the problem out for me.
The bottom line is if you are looking for a cheap host then Hostgator are good

I have to agree. I have some generic traffic generating stuff up on their shared servers and in the past 4 years I haven't had any major downtime (I am knocking on wood like a mofo right now) other than when some of their DNS servers went offline and made a mess for about 48 hours 2 years ago.

Would I use them for major sites that generate a ton of income? Hell no. That is when you move the domain to a private box. But if you're generating income you need to step away from the Lada and park your ass in a Mercedes... That is just common sense.

By far i have positive experience with Host Gator

anything else that you need to pay :D

No personal experience with HG, but if it doesn't work out or you don't want to put all of your eggs in one basket - check out www.nakedhosting.com

Hit me up with any questions:

i like hostgator is good for blogs IMO

Hostgator support might be lacking for stuff like DNS zone edits etc, but if you know what you want done they can do it. I use them as well as some dedicated boxes, and recently added a gotwebhost virtual.

I thought i was the only one who recognized this movie, pure awesome..
